TheLittleSongbird Loved the idea for 'The Sound', which for recent modest to low budget film viewings was one that was really quite creative. Executed right, 'The Sound' had potential to be quite decent. The cover/poster/advertising was attention grabbing and does make one want to see the film. Christopher Lloyd too is always watchable, despite being in a lot of bad projects in recent years.It is unfortunate that 'The Sound' was yet another great potential waste, which is both frustrating and annoying. It doesn't come anywhere near close to being as attention grabbing as the cover/poster/advertising, makes a creative concept dull and ordinary and Lloyd is much better than this. Really wanted to like 'The Sound', but couldn't do it with such underwhelming execution of almost every component. Not all of them, but all but a few.Rose McGowan is competent and Lloyd gives his limited character and screen time a lot of gusto. First third of 'The Sound' is intriguing and creepy and some of the photography is atmospheric and slick enough.The rest of the acting is not worth mentioning, Michael Eklund in particular spends the whole time looking like he was recovering from a hangover. The characters are sketchy at best and there is just nothing interesting or investable about them. Photography aside, 'The Sound' looks drab and like it was made in haste.Dialogue is very stilted and muddled, the direction is pedestrian and after a promising start, the intrigue and suspense goes and the story for the rest of the film is a mess of incoherence, with too many things being vague, silliness and dreary pacing, complete with a rushed and petered out ending.In summary, pretty weak. 3/10 Bethany Cox
cincitaz To many loose ends throughout the movie. Storyline was not well thought out or carried out.
dcarsonhagy I won't be as hard on this movie as the other review. I just found it missed it's mark for the most part."The Sound" stars Rose McGowan as a "reporter" who has chosen to debunk the sightings of "ghosts". She believes--and actually tells some--"there is no such things as ghosts," and believes any paranormal sightings can always be debunked. It is when she gets a message from a follower stating "Have I got a story for you" she gets more than she bargained for.I found the lighting and sound were the major selling points of this movie. All I kept thinking was "you've got to get OUT of this place"! McGowan is alright (although I much preferred her earlier looks) and she goes through the motions quite well. It's just the "side story" really detracted me from focusing on the main point of the movie. The movie is unrated but contains adult situations and language.
nebk The Sound is a supernatural horror thriller in which Kelly Johanson (Rose McGowan) debunks myths about ghosts and the supernatural using measurements of low frequency sound waves. She reports her findings on her blog/website and invites people to recommend places which she should visit and prove that there are no ghosts. As a result she finds herself at an abandoned train station in Toronto where a woman committed suicide in the mid 1960s. And the plot thickens from there as Kelly is soon faced with apparitions haunting the abandoned station. Her sanity starts slipping and the question is whether she will manage to save herself and get out alive. Whilst the premise and the first third of the movie were relatively interesting the rest went downhill quickly. Or should that be slowly since the movie starts dragging on and the story becomes more convoluted and less believable. In the end it's hard to care what happens as the viewers have probably lost interest. The ending feels rushed and there is a scene with hundreds of moths buzzing and flying around the abandoned station. To my knowledge moths don't sound like an angry swarm of bees. That just seems to have been added to include an irrelevant jump scare. Or wake the audience. The acting is more or less okay but nothing special. The supporting actors (Christopher Lloyd and Stephen McHattie amongst others) are fine but are not given enough screen time to make an impact. Overall the movie ultimately fizzled out.
